I reckon pg needs to pay me for the value I've added to this site.

Not quite sure if I should charge a nickel or a dime.

It's obvious to me that compensation should come in the form of ownership in yc companies, pro-rated based on total karma.

I think tptacek and patio11 will back me up on this.

In a way, both of those guys are very much compensated for their posting here, albeit not directly from YC.

You are joking but it's not a stretch for YC to in some way compensate high karma users who post on a continual basis.

I don't know what that compensation should be and I know it goes against the grain of the way things work everywhere and that people participate voluntarily (and derive their own benefit from it) but a token of thanks (of the monetary form) would be a good idea.

(And I'm not suggesting that someone with my karma level qualifies.)
